Brazil not good enough to win, says Pele

BRASILIA - Brazil's current side are not good enough to win the Confederations Cup, legend Pele said on Friday. Brazil are on a hiding to nothing under 2002 World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari as they look to shrug off some recent poor showings. And Pele says they currently are just not good enough, even with starlet Neymar on board. "Today's squad does not have enough in its armoury to win the Confederations Cup but at the same time it is a chance for the coach and technical staff to stabilise the team so it prepares for the World Cup. "There are some very strong teams here, such as the who have a very high level." He said he saw a lack of creativity in midfield and something missing between midfield and attack even if their defence is better. –AFP
